Myself - 90% of the time it is used incorrectly. “ Bill and myself went to the store.” WRONG. “I did it myself.” CORRECT

Efforting - somewhere, sometime someone turned this into a verb. It might have been Jordy Hultberg, but I’ve heard a number of people on the radio do it. It isn’t even a word. “Effort” is a noun.

Complaining about verbing (a word I coined to describe this phenomenon) is pointless. The process is a hallmark of English. I've never accepted "impacting" and never will, but I realize my fight is in vain.

The word succulent. Slap that together with moist and it's extra irritating.
